Our Purpose

Build an infrastructure where roadblocks to community evolution, skill shring, and access to resources will be circumvented by establising a Central Mass Time Exchange (CMTE). We hope that CMTE will build bridges based on neighborly relatinships where skill exchanges happen not only inside exisiting communiites but also between groups, organizations, communities, so that in short time, ideology, income, race, neigborhood or organization affiliation loose their stregth and make way for equall acess to resources and deep connections. Our apporach is two fold: organizing and training. Organizing will start with finding boots on the ground organizers beyond the core group, reaching out to existing timebacks in MA, finding ambassadors withing existing communities (such as schools) etc. Training will start with attending workshops on the history of time exchanges, developing orientation capacity and materials, learning breathing skills for developing a understanding of how money interfere in human life , developing an understanding of and practice for reciprocity, etc.
